Maine family to host Gore
The Associated Press
LEWISTON, Maine -- It's not exactly the presidential suite.
The small room's furnishings consist of a foldout couch. The decorations include posters of pop heartthrobs 'N Sync (10, to be exact), Beanie Babies and pictures of puppies and kittens. There also is a computer and a 13-inch TV.
Don Jalbert's house, specifically his 12-year-old daughter's study, was chosen as the latest stop as Democratic nominee Al Gore continued his tradition of bedding down at the homes of teachers to learn more about education issues before the November presidential election.
The family of four bought new bath towels and stocked up on Diet Coke but tried not to go overboard as they prepared for their Tuesday night guest, who turned down an offer of the parents' master bedroom in favor of Marissa's study.
Marissa expected a few awkward moments when the vice president first arrived in the living room to talk with her, her 15-year-old brother Nathan, and her parents, Don and Susan Iadevaia-Jalbert.
"Once we've been sitting for five minutes, it'll be OK," Marissa said confidently before Gore's late-night arrival.
The Gore campaign, which has won the endorsements of the nation's two largest teachers' unions, has dubbed such visits "School Days." Gore stays with a family before heading to school the following morning. He scheduled about seven hours with the Jalberts.
In that time, Don Jalbert wanted to ask the vice president about ways to curb expected high heating oil prices this winter and about Medicare and prescription drugs.
Perhaps most important, the father wanted to talk about the cost of putting Nathan through college to become an engineer, which he said could run $35,000 per year.
That's a tough prospect since Jalbert's job as an instructor at the Lewiston Regional Technical Center and his wife's jobs as a teaching assistant and social worker put the family squarely in the middle-income bracket.
"It's so hard. You're living day to day. There's always something that chews up the money that would have been going to that saving account," he said.
Access to higher education is one of the themes that Gore plans to address Wednesday during a visit to Lewiston High School and the Lewiston Regional Technical Center, said campaign spokeswoman Mara Gavin.
Despite hard questions, Gore won't find hostile hosts in Lewiston, a Democratic stronghold in what's considered a swing state. The Jalberts are registered Democrats and plan to vote for Gore in November.
Wednesday morning, Gore and the family planned to catch a few hours of sleep before a breakfast of homemade scones (plain and blueberry), bagels, cereal (Wheaties, Kix or Raisin Bran), eggs and coffee.
Jalbert, a national adviser and state director of SkillsUSA-VICA, a leadership club comprised of vocational and technical students, learned Saturday night that his family would play host.
The next day, 15 Secret Service agents arrived to look over the house.
A gasoline container and chemicals for the family's swimming pool were moved from a shed to a spot farther away. A mobile command post was set up near the back yard, and two phone lines were to be installed in Gore's room.
Also, the family was told to secure its cat -- Garfield -- so it would not become a snack for bomb-sniffing dogs.
For all the inconvenience, the family joined a select group able to say, "Al Gore slept here"; Tuesday night marked the seventh such visit during Gore's campaign. There were other benefits, too.
"We'll get to ride in the motorcade, which is cool, needless to say," Susan Iadevaia-Jalbert said.

OKAY ! That must've been quite an experience meeting Gore! I had forgotten, he liked YOUR room !
In addition to that Montello carrier route, I have Don and Nathan to thank for adding the Buttonwood-and-area route, for they offered me to take over that route.
Not a crime, Nathan...(!)...one should have better things to do than getting up at such oddball hours!
Don was quite the nice fellow to me, Marissa, for at the time I was exploring the possibility of subbing to "get my feet again" teaching. I have taught math and well as music.
Now I declined doing so, for I needed cash, like yesterday(!), and did other things, but Don was among the first to encourage me, how Lewiston High School is not the sort of horror story school with rampant, runaway discipline problems a la an inner city school.
At the time it became aware to me, subs need but relatively scant qualification to "climb aboard"...something like two years of college.
Many times I've wondered how Don is doing and have many times wanted to update my "Thank you!" to him.
He and Susan would often jog in the mornings around that vicinity.
To be honest, it slips my mind where Susan did/does teaching assistant work.
Don, I take it, is still at the Vocational Center, true?
I'm not sure if you're still living there as opposed to being on your own...none of business anyway !
Their place is not far from our current location, as we're in the River Valley Village complex (formerly Tall Pines).
Of one goes from Don's place along Montello to Main Street, well...across the street the street continues. At the time it was Montello Street Extension, but thanks to "911" it's now Landry.
If you cross the tracks, we're in that first building on the right.
As you probably know, Marissa, till very recently Dick Martin lived right in that area (660 Main St....I had a customer or two there as well in 2000). Dick and I could've seen one another, were it not for trees and that Freihofer bread place (great prices!).
Well, Marissa...enough of yours truly's big mouth gib-gab for now.........thanks for reading all this !
See you soon at CLT.

P.S.
Thanks for being willing to ask around LHS about my doing theatre work.
If you got this you need help!!!!
